THANK YOU, MOM

This is how Mom and I spent hot summer afternoons when I was young. 

Forgive my hair. 

It was 1976.

The movie A Star Is Born was out.

I was obsessed with Barbra Streisand,

My perm was just like hers.

I thought I looked so cool.

It never gets easier.

My mom did everything she could to make happy.

Trips, concerts, and soap opera weekends.

We did it all.

Because she knew that there'd come a day when I might not be able to,

She crammed all the fun. All the memories into five decades.

Thank you, Mom

It never gets easier.
